FACET-II will pave the way for a future generation of particle colliders and powerful light sources, opening avenues in high-energy physics, medicine, and materials, biological and energy science.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers recognizes his contributions to developing electron beams that power unique ‘electron cameras’ and could advance X-ray lasers.

It uses terahertz radiation to power a miniscule copper accelerator structure.

This leap in capability will allow scientists to investigate quantum and chemical systems more directly than ever before.

The technique could improve the efficiency of data collection and pave the way for new kinds of experiments.

Marking the beginning of the LCLS-II era, the first phase of the major upgrade comes online.

The prestigious awards provide at least $2.5 million over five years in support of their work in understanding photochemical reactions and improving accelerator beams.

It combines human knowledge and expertise with the speed and efficiency of “smart” computer algorithms.

New research shows that when a bunch of electrons zooms through the middle of a ring-shaped laser beam, the bunch can wind up with higher quality and generate a brighter X-ray beam.

Researchers have squeezed a high-energy electron beam into tight bundles using terahertz radiation, a promising advance in watching the ultrafast world of atoms unfold.
